The Deputy minister champion plays a critical role in supporting and advancing the NMC’s mandate, vision, and strategic objectives across the public service. Appointed by the Clerk of the Privy Council, the deputy minister champion provides strategic guidance, promotes the NMC’s activities, and builds awareness of key issues affecting public service managers. The champion works closely with the NMC executive director and ADM Advisory Board to ensure the NMC’s initiatives are relevant, aligned with government priorities, and effectively communicated across departments and agencies.
